EurekAlert! Science news from AAAS

Photosynthetic organisms—both plants and bacteria—grow and develop in response to their environment, including changes in the color of the light. Cells of the bacterium Fremyella diplosiphon can change from red to green and back in response to changes from green light to red and back. Beronda Montgomery-Kaguri studies the molecular mechanism that controls that adaptation designed to make the best use of available light.
